Gov. Kemp Names Members of Georgians First Commission

Governor Brian P. Kemp announced eighteen (18) appointments to the Georgians First Commission, a task force created by executive order on his first day in office. The commission will review state regulations, policies, and procedures to streamline government, remove inefficiencies, and secure Georgia’s place as the top state for small business in the country.

"These hardworking Georgians know firsthand the difficulties that small businesses face in getting started, expanding operations, and investing more in our state," said Governor Kemp. "I look forward to working with them to cut government red tape, slash regulations, spur innovation, and ultimately make Georgia the top state for small business in the country."

Governor Kemp also announced Scott Hilton as the new Director of Implementation at the Office of Planning and Budget. Hilton will work closely with the commission in day-to-day operations and strategic planning. Previously, Hilton served in the Georgia General Assembly, representing State House District 95 (R – Peachtree Corners).

The Georgians First Commission will hold its first meeting next month – tentatively set for March 12, 2019 - at the Georgia State Capitol. The commission will provide a full report to Governor Kemp by June 30, 2020.
